WHERE IT STARTED?

Like many internet start up's we began our company in the garage of a house in San Juan Capistrano, California. Born from an automotive family Bob led the way by teaching his son Kenny trade basics along with many subtle nuances of electrical and mechanical theory which are now being passed down to the next generation.

OUR SUCCESS

Only the best, we interview and screen mechanics that must meet our criteria, a combination of certifications, expertise, experience and compatibility.

HISTORY

It’s July 1975, a farewell party was winding down at IMS (International Medication Systems) as Bob was praised and honored for his valuable contributions to the company. Bob has a natural talent for understanding conceptual mechanics and is responsible for creating the first incremental time release intravenous medication machine. As Bob leaves the company he helped build, a sigh of relief overwhelms him which was quickly replaced by excitement while thinking about the new journey he was about to embark upon.

Bob had just purchased a 76 gas station and was ready to start his new business in car repair. (Back then car repair was a part of the gas station business.) Bob's wife, Carol would bring three of their four kids down to help with the new family business by pumping gas, checking oil and washing windshields. As word spread about Bob's honest reputation, work levels quickly rose. One of Bob's son's Kenny exhibited an extraordinary talent for car repair and as a junior in high school was enrolled in Tech2 auto shop classes.

Through the next several years Bob would teach Kenny not only basic car services, but also many of the subtle nuances associated with electrical and mechanical theory. Together in 1985 they relocated their business to a larger building in an upscale part of the city. Soon after, computer technology started becoming more apparent in the automobile industry which was primarily used to control exhaust emissions.
